VLARINA - An eTwinning project 2012-13 (Greece-Serbia-Italy)Vasiliki Papaioannou
The Students participating in this project had the opportunity to meet fellow mates from other European (Mediterranean) countries and communicate with them via e-mail or via instant messaging. They developed friendly relations with each other and shared details about their daily lives, traditions, cultures, perceptions, ideas, lifestyle.Establishing a common point of view of the past, students explored how the Mediterranean Sea is still the bridge between different cultures and religions.
All students developed their English language vocabulary and skills. They also developed their intercultural skills, exchanged ideas, gifts and postcards and also made use of a variety of resources in order to upload powerpoint presentations, documents, files and images about their countries on twinspace.
Last but not least students familiarised themselves with working in a virtual environment, identified and discussed the challenges they face living and working in them. The most important thing is that they made new friends and they gained insights from online school collaborations which will be valuable and worth remembering a life time.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Activities
Event preparation
• View the projects which have been awarded with National QLs (any school level)
• Personally contact and invite the awarded teachers to take part to the seminar
• Ask them to prepare a short video to illustrate their project and talk about the benefits (for themselves, the students, the school, etc..)
At the on-site seminar
• Welcome newcomers with an icebreaking tea and biscuits corner and an exhibition of images from etwinning events / projects can be organized,
as a poster session during which the awarded teachers to present their projects, testimonials may be relevant, if it is possible, we would invite
some students to speak about their experience with eTwinning projects. It can convince newcomers about the impact of eTwinning.
• Talk with people you Know and do not know and let them feel at ease, ask them something about their teaching experience
• Give a short presentation to explain what etwinning is and the opportunities it offers, after that, divide the group and let them follow 2 different
workshops:
1) in one workshop they get to view some videos and meet one teacher with an awarded project explaning about the project.
2) the other workshop could be about finding partners and setting the teachers at work on eTwinningLive (Forum, Virgilio group :-)...).
• What is very important is that the teachers attending get a lot of posters / cards that they can hang in their own school (= promotion material).
• Back again in plenary group, play a Kahoot to understand what they already know about etwinning
• As a follow up activity, we would ‘gamify’ this activity involving ‘old and new’ eTwinners, by organising a Geocaching_eTwinners experience.
What’s Geocaching? It can be embedded in the Twinspace and allows to be active on site, by placing a “geocache” in a place in your hometown,
or in a park, or in the wildlife near your home,... Fo this event, we could create a ‘treasure chest’ in which we could add the presented projects
TwinSpace’s address, Ambassadors eTwinning profile link, some objects related to our heritage, chosen by the participants and/or by eTwinners
to be. This leaves each participant, with a concrete commitment with eTwinning for his/her school.
4. • a poster can be used as well
• flyers with steps to engage in eTwinning
• a Padlet where newcomers put their expectations
of eTwinning. It can be a starting point of a conversation
This video can be helpful
5. Who does/has done what?
• Regional coordinator sends official invitation to teachers who received the National QLs
• Regional coordinator sends invitations to the seminar to all the schools in the selected area
• One ambassador prepares the kahoot
• One ambassador prepares the presentation of etwinning ( and the new app)
• One ambassadors stresses on the opportunities offered (LE, PDW, Move2Learn2Move ect...)
• The ambassadors team prepares for geocaching
• Teachers who have been awarded with National QL illustrate their projects (topic, subjects involved, benefits,
problems etc.)
• A mentimeter question “What do you bring back home from this meeting”? is asked and the code to menti.com is
given to enter the answers.
• If ambassadors run a group in etwinning Groups, they invite participants to join the group for an online follow up
event (ex. Q&A session)
